We have a deep difference of opinion there. The way I see it, if someone uses a module of mine to serve his needs, with or without modification, then he and I have both won. And if he gives me his modifications (on suitable terms) then I have won twice. In a sense, I can be a bigger winner if users do modify my module than if they don't. I think this may be near the core of our more general difference of opinion about what it means for a module to be 'reusable'.
